Accessible & Convenient

We have payment methods to fit your preference.

We provide a number of payment options to all our patients:
  • Cash
  • Check
  • Money Order
In addition to the above options, we offer in-house financing plans to make payments more affordable to our patients.
Payment Plans

We are often times asked if a patient can set up a payment plan. Although we prefer to collect payment in full prior to the completion of a service, we do understand that this may not always be possible. We try to make dental costs affordable for all patients. We cannot change our fees, as we have to file them to keep in compliance with programs we participate with, but we can try to help you find a way to make them work with your budget.

In Office Financing

In-office payment plans are available on a limited basis. If payment in full is not feasible at the time a patient completes treatment they will need to discuss any financing with our Office Manager, Jessica, prior to the completion of the treatment. Balances carried from month to month may incur a finance charge and/or billing charge.

Extended Financing
We accept CareCredit. Care Credit is an out of the office, revolving line of credit that requires a credit application. Upon approval, our office can offer the 12 months “no interest” ¹ plan or 24-60 month “low interest” ² plan dependent on the amount financed. Care Credit is accepted at other offices in the area including some oral surgeons, chiropractors, eye care clinics, or veterinary clinics.

¹If paid within the promotional period. Otherwise, interest assessed from purchase date. Minimum monthly payment required.

²Subject to credit approval

Don't Have Dental Insurance? You're Covered!

Making quality dental care accessible to all!

For our patients without insurance who prefer to pay over time and receive a discount on treatment, we have a patient membership program. With this program, you pay a lifetime activation fee that includes your exam, cleaning, and necessary x-rays. Then for a small monthly fee, your preventative care is included along with the opportunity for discounted treatment.

You save between $111 and $128 annually by becoming a member versus just paying for these services out of pocket as you go.
